I have been embarrassingly derelict with Pinterest pinning lately—but these stars have not! In fact, their boards are filled with all kinds of excellent food and fitness tips and ideas—just take a look at a few of them: Molly Sims' "Wellness" Board: She's pinned yoga moves and her favorite exercise tips, plus healthy recipes for things like green smoothies and infused waters. Infused waters! Color me intrigued. Lauren Conrad's "Get Fit" Board: Lauren's listed recipes for her favorite healthy foods (including her lemon-water-agave detox), plus some fun workout ideas—like the one above, for working out anywhere, anytime. Gabrielle Reece's "#PinYourResolution" Board: Gabby invites pinners to add their own health and fitness resolutions, which is a neat thing to do, and then adds her own tips, like what restaurant meals to avoid in order to steer clear of calorie bombs. Mariel Hemingway's "#PinYourResolution" Board: There are lots of fun recipes from Mariel here—like asparagus risotto with peas and lemon—but also tips for happiness, meditation, and staying active (look at that pic of her doing yoga above! Um, holy whoa!). Do you have any health-related celeb boards on Pinterest that you love? Share! read more
